I wanted to ask how to gain stage before any plugins or when I start to mix the kick what I suppose to have on my 2 buss and how much db does the kick has to hit on the 2 buss ?

The big thing is you need to meter pre-fader to see what level you’re hitting without the plugins to gain stage. In logic pro x you can customize that in the Transport settings. Jaycen seems to set the drums at -5 (according to his Orion plugin too). He also uses Standard clip a lot to set a hard threshold at -5. I’m still learning his methods too, but it seems to be around that. The God Particle is -5 for the sweet spot too and then his limiter in that adds 5db for the limiter. He aims to touch -6 (-6.8 or so) to -8 LUFS on the mix bus too. Depending on the genre.
